“It is in (real) disrepair,” City Administrator Rashad Young told WTOP.

“If you go to the bridge today, there’s a sign that says ‘Please don’t salt the bridge.'”

He called the bridge a major regional connection that is not only used by thousands of commuters every day, but tourists who come to the city to look at all of the monuments and memorials.

“There’s infrastructure projects like this across the country, but certainly we are focused on this one in D.C. because we’ve got to move people,” Young said.

The mayor and Young say they are hopeful the new administration will keep its word that infrastructure is a top priority and believe the Arlington Memorial Bridge is a prime example of an improvement the federal government itself can make.
